TXCONFIG-HRT Interface
Quick Guide
The TxConfig-HRT is a configuration interface for transmitters with HART protocol. It
can be used together with the configuration software TxConfig.
INTERFACE INSTALLATION
In the TxConfig-HRT model there is a USB communication interface, which must be
connected to the available USB port. Windows will request the proper driver
installation.
USB Drivers Installation
The drives installation steps may vary according to the machine, even for the same
version of an operating system. The following steps are only to provide guidance.
1. Run the driver file available on our website.
2. Connect the interface the PC USB port. Windows® will acknowledge the
presence of new hardware and a few seconds later it will start the drivers
installation process.
3. The found new hardware wizard will be displayed, and you will be asked if you
want to install the driver from the Windows Update website. Select "No, not this
time", and then click "Next".
4. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click "Next".
5. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and check "Search
removable media". Click "Next". If installation files are not in a CD, check
"Include this location in the search" and show the file path.
6. If a prompt warns you that it does not support Windows®, click "Continue anyway".
7. The interface driver files will be copied to the computer and after a few seconds
a screen is displayed informing that the software installation as been concluded.
Click "Finish".
8. In some situations, the steps described above may be repeated again. Follow
the same procedures.
In later uses of the interface, Windows® may require the driver installation again. In
this case, the same installation wizard will be displayed, and you will have to select
the option "Install software automatically (recommended)", as the driver may already
be in the computer.
